Vicar, St John’s Worksop
Ministerial Vacancies
Working for us as a member of clergy in one of our rural, urban, or inner city parishes will be as varied and interesting as the people of Nottinghamshire you serve. The diocese is based in the heart of the East Midlands, close to the bustling city of Nottingham, and with easy access to London by train with good transport links up, down and across the country. You can be assured of regular pastoral and spiritual support from our Discipleship and Ministry Team, ensuring that your development needs are met in your Ministerial Development Review, with opportunities for peer support and personal growth.

St John’s is a charismatic evangelical church north of the town centre of Worksop. We are a diverse, united, warm, supportive and welcoming fellowship. We have a heart for our community, including those who are often overlooked and marginalised. A newcomer described us as “a place full of love, laughter, learning and fellowship”.
We have welcomed new worshippers and forged new links and partnerships in the community, as part of our recent major restoration work and a very successful heritage project.
As we stand on the threshold of a fresh exciting season we are ready for an incumbent who is a mature Christian, prayerful and attuned to the leading of the Holy Spirit.
This person is wise and understanding, a compassionate listener and encourager with a strong pastoral heart. They are a confident and empowering leader, skilled in building and working in teams, and deeply passionate about evangelism and church growth.
They will have the gifts and experience to:
- shape God’s vision for the future with us, aligning with our diocesan priorities of reaching younger and enhancing diversity,
- see the tremendous potential for growth and implement new initiatives,
- inspire and draw out gifts, nurture and develop leaders,
- deepen our worship and prayer life.
Could this be you?
